[TV] “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series” Gains Jake Busey, Two More!

Bloody Disgusting scored new casting from the Austin-based production of the highly-anticipated, “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series,” premiering 2014 on El Rey Network, the new 24-hour English-language cable network.

Produced in association with FactoryMade Ventures and created and executive produced by network founder and filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, the supernatural crime saga will feature Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights, G.I. Joe: Retaliation), Jake Busey (Frighteners, Starship Troopers, Enemy of the State, Identity), and Lane Garrison (Bonnie & Clyde, Prison Break).

The 10-episode series will serve as the first scripted original to air on the network which will be available nationally beginning the week of December 15, 2013.

Adrianne Palicki, pictured above, portrays Vanessa Styles, a woman from Seth Gecko’s past. Lane Garrison plays Pete, the clerk at Benny’s World of Liquor which the Gecko brothers take over in the pilot; and Jake Busey, pictured below, portrays Professor Aiden Tanner, an eccentric intellectual obsessed with the Mesoamerican mythology behind the vampires.

Based on the thrill-ride film, “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series” is a supernatural crime saga centered around bank robber, Seth Gecko (Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard “Richie” Gecko (Holtz), who are wanted by the FBI and Texas Rangers Earl McGraw (Johnson) and Freddie Gonzalez (Garcia) after a bank heist left several people dead. While on the run to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter former minister Jacob Fuller (Patrick) and his family, whom they take hostage. Using the family RV to cross the border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is populated by vampires. They are forced to fight until dawn in order to get out alive. The series deepens the tone of the film, adds new characters and backstories and expands the Mesoamerican mythology behind the creatures inside the club.
